Ohaus Model 1610-00 triple beam balance offers all the features of the triple beam Model 710-T0 except the 0-10 poise has been replaced with a speed dialer. The engraved Vernier Dial allows you to quickly determine the 0 to 10 g range in 0.1 gram increments.

Ohaus Triple Beam 1610-00 features a removable stainless steel pan 6 inch diameter with a tare beam allowing you to tare containers placed on the weighing pan up to 225 grams. The 3/4 inch deep pan prevents cylindrical objects like an ostrich or emu egg from rolling off the flat stainless steel plate like that of the model 1650-00 from Ohaus. Two notched and tiered beams with center reading

Ohaus Triple Beam balance deliver accuracy and dependability time and time again. The 1610-00 dial-o-gram triple beam is backed with a 5 year limited manufacturer warranty from Ohaus Corp against factory defects.

Ohaus offers 9 different triple beam balances to choose from with different weighing platforms, notched and tiered beams with center reading. The DialOGram has magnetic damping and dial operation for fine weighing. These models include:

Before weighing on your triple beam you need to "zero" the balance. Do this by sliding back all the weight poises (that slide along the beams) so that the pointer is right at the zero line. You might need to turn the quick-zeroing adjustment knob located under the weighing platform a little bit to get it right at the line.

When you set an object on the balance platform, the pointer immediately goes up and is no longer zeroed. To find out the weight of the object, you'll need to slide the weight poises until the pointer is at zero again. Start with the two heavier weight poises and then use the lightest one to do the fine tuning.

To read the weight of an object in grams, add up the number that each weight poise is at when the pointer zeroes. For example, if the heaviest poise is at 300 g, the next one at 90 g, and the lightest one at 1.9 g, then the total weight of the object is 391.9 grams.
